http://www.antlerfarms.com AntlerFarms® OrganicGreens is a powerful blend of the world's most nutrient dense superfoods: barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina.
Most green superfood mixes sold today are overloaded with ingredients. Although having a long list of ingredients in a superfood blend may sound impressive, it actually reduces the effectiveness of the product - because it only contains tiny amounts of each ingredient.
When taken in trace amounts, even nutrient-dense superfoods will provide little to no impact on your body. Therefore, most green blends on the market are ineffective because they provide insufficient quantities of each ingredient on a per serving basis to promote health and well-being.
That's why Antler Farms® Organic Greens was created with only the world's top four green superfoods - and nothing more. This uncommon, disciplined approach provides 100% pure organic superfoods in ample quantities - quantities required for optimal benefits and effectiveness.
Antler Farms® Organic Greens contains a perfectly proportioned blend of barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina. Together this mixture of vibrant green grasses and microalgae is a nutritional powerhouse that delivers an abundance of alkalizing greens, chlorophyll and other phytonutrients, essential and non-essential amino acids, protein, antioxidants, fiber and minerals.
Barley grass and wheat grass are the young leaves of the barley and wheat plant. Our grasses are grown outdoors in the fertile soils of New Zealand'sCanterbury Plains, where they flourish with natural sunlight and fresh water. When harvested at their nutritional peak, these grasses contain a wide range of nutrients - including high concentrations of chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Barley grass and wheat grass are widely considered to be two of the most nutritionally balanced foods in nature.
Chlorella and spirulina are microscopic green and blue-green algae that grow in warm, tropical climates. Our algae are cultivated in crystal clear mineral water, free from environmental pollution. Both chlorella and spirulina have exceptional nutritional properties. Chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any known plant, and also has a unique phytonutrient complex known as Chlorella Growth Factor. Spirulina, on the other hand, is comprised of over 100 nutrients and contains the highest protein concentration of any plant or animal on per gram basis.
Antler Farms® Organic Greens combines all four of these renowned superfoods into one simple, powerful blend.
Organic Greens is certified organic. No GMOs, herbicides, pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used in our entire farming system. In addition, our products are regularly tested for heavy metals, toxins, bacteria, pollutants and other contaminants to ensure purity and safety. Organic Greens is vegan, gluten free, soy free and dairy free.

We traveled Yaeyama islands of Japan. In this video you can see the central fruit and vegetable market on big (Ishigaki) island (market locates just next to Ishigaki CityOffice). Not a huge selection of fruits at the time, but lot's of greens and herbs. Anyways, definitely recommended to visit for raw fruit and vegetable loving people. Didn't had a lot of organic labeling, but we believe that certain part of greens are organic. Farmers keep bringing their produce why we are shopping and mostly they are and look like a small scale local farmers and families.

"Microgreens." It sounds like a made-up word, a term that 21st century technogeeks might have invented because they consider "seedlings" to be hopelessly outdated. But it no longer matters who coined the word because everyone in the food industry ̶ including the U.S.Department of Agriculture ̶ now talks about microgreens. I should say everyone "raves" about microgreens.
Advocates will tell you these little seedlings ̶ harvested at a mere seven to 14 days after germination ̶ pack more nutrients than they would if allowed to complete their growth. A recent USDA study found that leaves from almost all microgreens had four to six times more nutrients than the mature leaves of the same plant.
Conventional kitchen wisdom suggests that tiny greens like this should be used as garnishes to salads, sandwiches and soups ̶ mainly for appearance. As I discovered last week, it's not about looks, it's about taste. Moreover, salads, sandwiches and soups are just the beginning. To investigate this phenomenon, I traveled three hours east from Short Hills, across Manhattan and out onto the far reaches of Long Island last week to visit Koppert Cress, a relatively new microgreen "farm" in Cutchogue, N.Y.
"Farm" is a bit of misnomer since Koppert Cress is, in fact, an enormous greenhouse operation where plants are grown in some sort of inert natural material in thousands of plastic trays placed on huge stainless-steel "benches" that can be moved throughout the facility on pristine steel rails. There's not a smidgen of dirt in sight. In fact, the Koppert Cress greenhouses abhor dirt and foreign materials of any kind. It's the way the "farmers" ̶ well, let's just call them managers ̶ keep their "crops" free of disease and bacteria.
Accompanying me on this trip were my colleague, Patrick Cleary, a senior sous chef at Hilton Short Hills, and Kenneth Cospito, executive vice president of sales for AgriExotic Trading, a Clifton, N.J., firm that supplies fruit, vegetables and herbs to Hilton Short Hills and many other hotels and restaurants in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. (I'm glad we traveled last Thursday, because a couple of days later we could have been trapped in a blizzard.)
Our host was Nicolas Mazard, Koppert Cress director of sales & marketing and a native of France, who gave us a rare tour of his facility, which usually is off-limits to outsiders to protect the plants from disease and his company's proprietary equipment from prying eyes. He invited us to take photos and video footage of everything except those secret machines, which he said were made exclusively for his company and provided a competitive advantage. Best of all, he encouraged us to taste his plants.
Nicolas told us Koppert Cress grows its seedlings in an all-natural substance that he wouldn't name. Suffice it to say the material looks something like off-white cotton. It is placed with seeds in plastic plant trays, very similar to the kind you might find at your neighborhood nursery. When the seedlings are ready for harvest, the staff simply boxes up the trays and ships them to customers ̶ mostly chefs, like me, who work at high-end restaurants. Little to no fertilizer is used, and the plants are so clean they don't need to be washed before consumed, according to Nicolas.
The Koppert Cress literature lists 68 different seedling types from amaranth to arugula, broccoli to beets and carrots to cilantro. The company even grows edible pansies.
We all were fascinated by the fact that Nicolas and his partners invested what obviously must have been several million dollars to build an ultramodern facility to grow this relatively off-the-beaten-path food. We asked ourselves, "Why?" The answer became apparent as soon as Nicolas began offering samples. These tiny little nothings not only are packed with nutritious stuff, they taste incredible. I have to choose my words carefully to avoid understating the case: They simply explode with flavor in your mouth.
Each microgreen offered a distinct taste, some familiar to vegetables ̶ except much more intense ̶ and some strangely like fruits and even cheese. Clearly, we had encountered plants from another planet, or perhaps plants from some mad scientist's laboratory that had been bred to yield unearthly flavor. As it turns out, the opposite is true.
Koppert Cress is growing native species of plants as they existed before botanists hybridized them to make them disease-resistant and able to travel hundreds of miles in trucks or railroad cards. The flavors that stunned us are heirloom varieties, just like the heirloom tomatoes that many of us have rediscovered in recent years.
Now that I know more about microgreens, they definitely will play a role in the new menus my staff and I are developing for The Dining Room, Hilton Short Hills' full-service restaurant which currently is being rebuilt from the wall studs out and is scheduled to open next week.

Organic food

Organic foods are foods produced by organic farming. While the standards differ worldwide, organic farming in general features cultural, biological, and mechanical practices that foster cycling of resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve biodiversity. Synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers are not allowed, although certain approved pesticides may be used. In general, organic foods are also not processed using irradiation, industrial solvents, or synthetic food additives.

Currently, the European Union, the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan and many other countries require producers to obtain special certification in order to market food as organic within their borders. In the context of these regulations, organic food is food produced in a way that complies with organic standards set by national governments and international organizations. Although the produce of kitchen gardens may be organic, selling food with the organic label is regulated by governmental food safety authorities, such as the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) or European Commission.

Whole Foods Market

Whole Foods Market Inc. is an American supermarket chain specializing in organic food that opened on September 20, 1980, in Austin, Texas, its current headquarters. As of September 2015, the company has 91,000 employees and 431 supermarkets among the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and has its main produce procurement office in Watsonville, California.

As of 2015, founder John Mackey and Walter Robb are co-CEOs of the publicly traded company, with John Elstrott as chairman. Whole Foods Market became a Fortune 500 company in March 2005 and is the 30th largest retailer in the U.S. based on 2014 revenue.

History

Early years

In 1978, Mackey and Renee Lawson borrowed $45,000 from family and friends to open a small natural foods store called SaferWay in Austin, (the name being a spoof of Safeway). When the two were evicted from their apartment for storing food products in it, they decided to live at the store. Because it was zoned for commercial use, there was no shower stall, so they bathed using a water hose attached to their dishwasher.

Located on the southern edge of the Niagara Escarpment, the park is a jumble of small but steep hills ("short hills") and valleys created by the last ice age. The effect was only compounded when the Twelve Mile Creek cut through the sedimentary deposits and glacial till.

Ikaria the island of longevity | Plant based diet ♥

Ikaria the island of longevity | Plant based diet ♥

One of the reasons we were intrigued to visit the island of Ikaria was because of its longevity reputation. The people here tend to live longer and healthier than just about anywhere else in the world. Aside from living a relaxed lifestyle with minimal stress, they also eat a plant-based diet, from food they produce there. There’s lots of delicious organic greens, herbs, potatoes, olive oil…. So how hard would it be to stick to their diet? We put Rachel to the test! And it turns out it’s actually a lot harder than imagined. Having no protein really started taking its toll on her, luckily she managed to get her hands on some ‘backup meat’… nothing quiet complements a plant based diet like some nice processed ham.

Probably no other wild food, save for mushrooms, is as difficult to categorize as greens. Greece has one of the richest floras in the world; there are over 300 varieties of edible wild greens and grasses and to this day most of these are esteemed in island cooking. The problem is making sense out of names because different names often refer to the same plant from place to place. While the following list by no means aims to be complete, it represents a selection of the most popular or distinct local wild greens in the southern Aegean.
Alifoni -- This thorny, ancient green goes by dozens of local names, including radiki tis thalassas (sea chicory), centaurio, astoivi, stamnagkatho. It tends to grow near the sea and is popular on many islands, but especially Tinos. It is eaten as a boiled salad.
Alivarvara - This is the thistle so esteemed by the ancients and still much appreciated today, especially in Kimolos, where it is generally collected after it rains. Island cooks pickle it and serve it as a meze for ouzo but also stew it with meat. In some islands it is known as ververida or karida (Syros).
Askolimbri, as it's called in Mykonos, or Skolimbro, as it's known in Kimolos -- Here is one of the most revered of the Greek wild greens, popular in many Aegean islands, most notably Crete. It is a thorny green that needs careful cleaning. In Mykonos, these greens are often preserved in brine; in Kimolos they are boiled for salad or cooked with meat or poultry in avgolemono (egg-lemon) sauce.
Avronia (Bryony) -- Connoisseurs say this is one of the most delicious Greek wild greens. It looks a little like thin asparagus stalks but the two are not related, and it has a characteristic, pleasantly bitter flavor. Although popular on most islands, bryony is especially liked on Sifnos. It is mainly boiled and served with olive oil and lemon or vinegar, and its bitter cooking liquid is consumed as a tonic.
Bouraza (Borage) -- Surprisingly common all over the islands, borage is especially esteemed in the traditional cookery of Mykonos, where it goes into bean soups, savory pies, lamb fricassée and baked salt cod.
Kousounades (Mykonos) or Koutsounades (Sifnos) -- Wild poppy leaves, also called paparounes on other islands. These long, delicate leaves are a popular addition to springtime savory pies.
Kritamo (Sea Fennel) -- An almost succulent, pleasantly bitter crawling vine that grows wild along the coast of many islands and is especially popular in Milos, Kimolos, and Tinos. It is typically pickled or put up in salt brine and used to embellish salads or on meze platters, especially for tsipouro and ouzo, because of its strong, briny flavor.
Lapatho (Sorrel) -- In Kos, sorrel is used as a filling for pies and most interestingly as a unique wrapping for dolmades in place of grape leaves.
Mantelides (Daisy Shoots) -- Mantelides is the local name in Kimolos, where these greens, a springtime staple, are a popular treat, boiled and served up as salad. Daisy shoots are also enjoyed on Kassos and Rhodes, where they are deep fried and served with skordalia.
Maratho (Wild Fennel) -- Arguably one of the most characteristic island wild greens, wild fennel seasons countless dishes, but especially the small hand-held savory pies and greens fritters that are a mainstay of almost every southern Aegean island's cuisine. How about the fennel seeds used as a seasoning in the Syros sausages?
Roikio -- A wild, thorny chicory known as stamnagathi on other islands, notably Crete, and radiki tis thalassas (sea chicory). It is especially esteemed on Kassos, where the leaves of this delicious, slightly bitter plant are preserved in coarse salt. They are rinsed and then cooked in a copious amount of olive oil and tomatoes.
Tsimbita (Black Mustard Greens) -- Tsimbita means "something that pinches," so named in the dialect of Kimolos because of their slightly bitter, peppery flavor. They are also known as pikroporiha on the island and as vrouves in the rest of Greece. They are boiled and served as a winter salad, usually dressed with vinegar.
Vodoglossa -- This is a well-known wild green in many of the southernmost Aegean islands, especially Kos and Rhodes. In English it is sometimes known as Salvation Jane or Patterson's curse. It is used in boiled salads and savory greens pies.
Volvoi (Wild HyacinthBulbs) -- One of the great treats of the Greek islands, hyacinth bulbs, with their distinct, bitter flavor, are dug out of the ground in spring, pickled and served forth as a meze par excellence, especially for ouzo and tsipouro.

How To Grow Wheatgrass And Sprouts

How to grow healthy organic wheatgrass and sprouts in your home. It's fun, it's easy, and best of all... Healthy. Happy growing from Island Wheatgrass and Sprouts.

http://www.antlerfarms.com AntlerFarms® OrganicGreens is a powerful blend of the world's most nutrient dense superfoods: barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina.
Most green superfood mixes sold today are overloaded with ingredients. Although having a long list of ingredients in a superfood blend may sound impressive, it actually reduces the effectiveness of the product - because it only contains tiny amounts of each ingredient.
When taken in trace amounts, even nutrient-dense superfoods will provide little to no impact on your body. Therefore, most green blends on the market are ineffective because they provide insufficient quantities of each ingredient on a per serving basis to promote health and well-being.
That's why Antler Farms® Organic Greens was created with only t...

What greens and herbs Japanese islanders eat?

We traveled Yaeyama islands of Japan. In this video you can see the central fruit and vegetable market on big (Ishigaki) island (market locates just next to Ishigaki CityOffice). Not a huge selection of fruits at the time, but lot's of greens and herbs. Anyways, definitely recommended to visit for raw fruit and vegetable loving people. Didn't had a lot of organic labeling, but we believe that certain part of greens are organic. Farmers keep bringing their produce why we are shopping and mostly they are and look like a small scale local farmers and families.

They're Small but Mighty: Microgreens

"Microgreens." It sounds like a made-up word, a term that 21st century technogeeks might have invented because they consider "seedlings" to be hopelessly outdated. But it no longer matters who coined the word because everyone in the food industry ̶ including the U.S.Department of Agriculture ̶ now talks about microgreens. I should say everyone "raves" about microgreens.
Advocates will tell you these little seedlings ̶ harvested at a mere seven to 14 days after germination ̶ pack more nutrients than they would if allowed to complete their growth. A recent USDA study found that leaves from almost all microgreens had four to six times more nutrients than the mature leaves of the same plant.
Conventional kitchen wisdom suggests that tiny greens like this should be used as garnishe...

Ikaria the island of longevity | Plant based diet ♥

One of the reasons we were intrigued to visit the island of Ikaria was because of its longevity reputation. The people here tend to live longer and healthier than just about anywhere else in the world. Aside from living a relaxed lifestyle with minimal stress, they also eat a plant-based diet, from food they produce there. There’s lots of delicious organic greens, herbs, potatoes, olive oil…. So how hard would it be to stick to their diet? We put Rachel to the test! And it turns out it’s actually a lot harder than imagined. Having no protein really started taking its toll on her, luckily she managed to get her hands on some ‘backup meat’… nothing quiet complements a plant based diet like some nice processed ham.

That's why Antler Farms® Organic Greens was created with only the world's top four green superfoods - and nothing more. This uncommon, disciplined approach provides 100% pure organic superfoods in ample quantities - quantities required for optimal benefits and effectiveness.
Antler Farms® Organic Greens contains a perfectly proportioned blend of barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina. Together this mixture of vibrant green grasses and microalgae is a nutritional powerhouse that delivers an abundance of alkalizing greens, chlorophyll and other phytonutrients, essential and non-essential amino acids, protein, antioxidants, fiber and minerals.
Barley grass and wheat grass are the young leaves of the barley and wheat plant. Our grasses are grown outdoors in the fertile soils of New Zealand'sCanterbury Plains, where they flourish with natural sunlight and fresh water. When harvested at their nutritional peak, these grasses contain a wide range of nutrients - including high concentrations of chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Barley grass and wheat grass are widely considered to be two of the most nutritionally balanced foods in nature.
Chlorella and spirulina are microscopic green and blue-green algae that grow in warm, tropical climates. Our algae are cultivated in crystal clear mineral water, free from environmental pollution. Both chlorella and spirulina have exceptional nutritional properties. Chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any known plant, and also has a unique phytonutrient complex known as Chlorella Growth Factor. Spirulina, on the other hand, is comprised of over 100 nutrients and contains the highest protein concentration of any plant or animal on per gram basis.
Antler Farms® Organic Greens combines all four of these renowned superfoods into one simple, powerful blend.
Organic Greens is certified organic. No GMOs, herbicides, pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used in our entire farming system. In addition, our products are regularly tested for heavy metals, toxins, bacteria, pollutants and other contaminants to ensure purity and safety. Organic Greens is vegan, gluten free, soy free and dairy free.

"Microgreens." It sounds like a made-up word, a term that 21st century technogeeks might have invented because they consider "seedlings" to be hopelessly outdated. But it no longer matters who coined the word because everyone in the food industry ̶ including the U.S.Department of Agriculture ̶ now talks about microgreens. I should say everyone "raves" about microgreens.
Advocates will tell you these little seedlings ̶ harvested at a mere seven to 14 days after germination ̶ pack more nutrients than they would if allowed to complete their growth. A recent USDA study found that leaves from almost all microgreens had four to six times more nutrients than the mature leaves of the same plant.
Conventional kitchen wisdom suggests that tiny greens like this should be used as garnishes to salads, sandwiches and soups ̶ mainly for appearance. As I discovered last week, it's not about looks, it's about taste. Moreover, salads, sandwiches and soups are just the beginning. To investigate this phenomenon, I traveled three hours east from Short Hills, across Manhattan and out onto the far reaches of Long Island last week to visit Koppert Cress, a relatively new microgreen "farm" in Cutchogue, N.Y.
"Farm" is a bit of misnomer since Koppert Cress is, in fact, an enormous greenhouse operation where plants are grown in some sort of inert natural material in thousands of plastic trays placed on huge stainless-steel "benches" that can be moved throughout the facility on pristine steel rails. There's not a smidgen of dirt in sight. In fact, the Koppert Cress greenhouses abhor dirt and foreign materials of any kind. It's the way the "farmers" ̶ well, let's just call them managers ̶ keep their "crops" free of disease and bacteria.
Accompanying me on this trip were my colleague, Patrick Cleary, a senior sous chef at Hilton Short Hills, and Kenneth Cospito, executive vice president of sales for AgriExotic Trading, a Clifton, N.J., firm that supplies fruit, vegetables and herbs to Hilton Short Hills and many other hotels and restaurants in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. (I'm glad we traveled last Thursday, because a couple of days later we could have been trapped in a blizzard.)
Our host was Nicolas Mazard, Koppert Cress director of sales & marketing and a native of France, who gave us a rare tour of his facility, which usually is off-limits to outsiders to protect the plants from disease and his company's proprietary equipment from prying eyes. He invited us to take photos and video footage of everything except those secret machines, which he said were made exclusively for his company and provided a competitive advantage. Best of all, he encouraged us to taste his plants.
Nicolas told us Koppert Cress grows its seedlings in an all-natural substance that he wouldn't name. Suffice it to say the material looks something like off-white cotton. It is placed with seeds in plastic plant trays, very similar to the kind you might find at your neighborhood nursery. When the seedlings are ready for harvest, the staff simply boxes up the trays and ships them to customers ̶ mostly chefs, like me, who work at high-end restaurants. Little to no fertilizer is used, and the plants are so clean they don't need to be washed before consumed, according to Nicolas.
The Koppert Cress literature lists 68 different seedling types from amaranth to arugula, broccoli to beets and carrots to cilantro. The company even grows edible pansies.
We all were fascinated by the fact that Nicolas and his partners invested what obviously must have been several million dollars to build an ultramodern facility to grow this relatively off-the-beaten-path food. We asked ourselves, "Why?" The answer became apparent as soon as Nicolas began offering samples. These tiny little nothings not only are packed with nutritious stuff, they taste incredible. I have to choose my words carefully to avoid understating the case: They simply explode with flavor in your mouth.
Each microgreen offered a distinct taste, some familiar to vegetables ̶ except much more intense ̶ and some strangely like fruits and even cheese. Clearly, we had encountered plants from another planet, or perhaps plants from some mad scientist's laboratory that had been bred to yield unearthly flavor. As it turns out, the opposite is true.
Koppert Cress is growing native species of plants as they existed before botanists hybridized them to make them disease-resistant and able to travel hundreds of miles in trucks or railroad cards. The flavors that stunned us are heirloom varieties, just like the heirloom tomatoes that many of us have rediscovered in recent years.
Now that I know more about microgreens, they definitely will play a role in the new menus my staff and I are developing for The Dining Room, Hilton Short Hills' full-service restaurant which currently is being rebuilt from the wall studs out and is scheduled to open next week.

"Microgreens." It sounds like a made-up word, a term that 21st century technogeeks might have invented because they consider "seedlings" to be hopelessly outdated. But it no longer matters who coined the word because everyone in the food industry ̶ including the U.S.Department of Agriculture ̶ now talks about microgreens. I should say everyone "raves" about microgreens.
Advocates will tell you these little seedlings ̶ harvested at a mere seven to 14 days after germination ̶ pack more nutrients than they would if allowed to complete their growth. A recent USDA study found that leaves from almost all microgreens had four to six times more nutrients than the mature leaves of the same plant.
Conventional kitchen wisdom suggests that tiny greens like this should be used as garnishes to salads, sandwiches and soups ̶ mainly for appearance. As I discovered last week, it's not about looks, it's about taste. Moreover, salads, sandwiches and soups are just the beginning. To investigate this phenomenon, I traveled three hours east from Short Hills, across Manhattan and out onto the far reaches of Long Island last week to visit Koppert Cress, a relatively new microgreen "farm" in Cutchogue, N.Y.
"Farm" is a bit of misnomer since Koppert Cress is, in fact, an enormous greenhouse operation where plants are grown in some sort of inert natural material in thousands of plastic trays placed on huge stainless-steel "benches" that can be moved throughout the facility on pristine steel rails. There's not a smidgen of dirt in sight. In fact, the Koppert Cress greenhouses abhor dirt and foreign materials of any kind. It's the way the "farmers" ̶ well, let's just call them managers ̶ keep their "crops" free of disease and bacteria.

One of the reasons we were intrigued to visit the island of Ikaria was because of its longevity reputation. The people here tend to live longer and healthier than just about anywhere else in the world. Aside from living a relaxed lifestyle with minimal stress, they also eat a plant-based diet, from food they produce there. There’s lots of delicious organic greens, herbs, potatoes, olive oil…. So how hard would it be to stick to their diet? We put Rachel to the test! And it turns out it’s actually a lot harder than imagined. Having no protein really started taking its toll on her, luckily she managed to get her hands on some ‘backup meat’… nothing quiet complements a plant based diet like some nice processed ham.

Shopping for greens at a Greek farmer's market. To learn the names of so many healthy wild greens and other nutritious info, press more.
Greens in the Aegean
Probably no other wild food, save for mushrooms, is as difficult to categorize as greens. Greece has one of the richest floras in the world; there are over 300 varieties of edible wild greens and grasses and to this day most of these are esteemed in island cooking. The problem is making sense out of names because different names often refer to the same plant from place to place. While the following list by no means aims to be complete, it represents a selection of the most popular or distinct local wild greens in the southern Aegean.
Alifoni -- This thorny, ancient green goes by dozens of local names, including radiki tis thalassas (sea chicory), centaurio, astoivi, stamnagkatho. It tends to grow near the sea and is popular on many islands, but especially Tinos. It is eaten as a boiled salad.
Alivarvara - This is the thistle so esteemed by the ancients and still much appreciated today, especially in Kimolos, where it is generally collected after it rains. Island cooks pickle it and serve it as a meze for ouzo but also stew it with meat. In some islands it is known as ververida or karida (Syros).
Askolimbri, as it's called in Mykonos, or Skolimbro, as it's known in Kimolos -- Here is one of the most revered of the Greek wild greens, popular in many Aegean islands, most notably Crete. It is a thorny green that needs careful cleaning. In Mykonos, these greens are often preserved in brine; in Kimolos they are boiled for salad or cooked with meat or poultry in avgolemono (egg-lemon) sauce.
Avronia (Bryony) -- Connoisseurs say this is one of the most delicious Greek wild greens. It looks a little like thin asparagus stalks but the two are not related, and it has a characteristic, pleasantly bitter flavor. Although popular on most islands, bryony is especially liked on Sifnos. It is mainly boiled and served with olive oil and lemon or vinegar, and its bitter cooking liquid is consumed as a tonic.
Bouraza (Borage) -- Surprisingly common all over the islands, borage is especially esteemed in the traditional cookery of Mykonos, where it goes into bean soups, savory pies, lamb fricassée and baked salt cod.
Kousounades (Mykonos) or Koutsounades (Sifnos) -- Wild poppy leaves, also called paparounes on other islands. These long, delicate leaves are a popular addition to springtime savory pies.
Kritamo (Sea Fennel) -- An almost succulent, pleasantly bitter crawling vine that grows wild along the coast of many islands and is especially popular in Milos, Kimolos, and Tinos. It is typically pickled or put up in salt brine and used to embellish salads or on meze platters, especially for tsipouro and ouzo, because of its strong, briny flavor.
Lapatho (Sorrel) -- In Kos, sorrel is used as a filling for pies and most interestingly as a unique wrapping for dolmades in place of grape leaves.
Mantelides (Daisy Shoots) -- Mantelides is the local name in Kimolos, where these greens, a springtime staple, are a popular treat, boiled and served up as salad. Daisy shoots are also enjoyed on Kassos and Rhodes, where they are deep fried and served with skordalia.
Maratho (Wild Fennel) -- Arguably one of the most characteristic island wild greens, wild fennel seasons countless dishes, but especially the small hand-held savory pies and greens fritters that are a mainstay of almost every southern Aegean island's cuisine. How about the fennel seeds used as a seasoning in the Syros sausages?
Roikio -- A wild, thorny chicory known as stamnagathi on other islands, notably Crete, and radiki tis thalassas (sea chicory). It is especially esteemed on Kassos, where the leaves of this delicious, slightly bitter plant are preserved in coarse salt. They are rinsed and then cooked in a copious amount of olive oil and tomatoes.
Tsimbita (Black Mustard Greens) -- Tsimbita means "something that pinches," so named in the dialect of Kimolos because of their slightly bitter, peppery flavor. They are also known as pikroporiha on the island and as vrouves in the rest of Greece. They are boiled and served as a winter salad, usually dressed with vinegar.
Vodoglossa -- This is a well-known wild green in many of the southernmost Aegean islands, especially Kos and Rhodes. In English it is sometimes known as Salvation Jane or Patterson's curse. It is used in boiled salads and savory greens pies.
Volvoi (Wild HyacinthBulbs) -- One of the great treats of the Greek islands, hyacinth bulbs, with their distinct, bitter flavor, are dug out of the ground in spring, pickled and served forth as a meze par excellence, especially for ouzo and tsipouro.

Carmen Wakeling Part 2

Carmen Wakeling, an organic farmer and owner of EatmoreSprouts farm, located in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, has been at the business of growing organic alfalfa sprouts for almost twenty years. She does not only shun chemicals, she even plans her farm such that she hopes not to need to even till the land from season to season.
This is the second part of an interview done at location in her farm late in April 2013. Since the recording was done in her farm and outdoors, the sound has the natural tenor with background noise of birds chirping, wind whistling around, and an occasional noise of metal doors opening or a distant tractor.
My thanks go to Anuradha Mitra for filming the interview and to Carmen Wakeling for taking time out on a Sunday, to see me at her wonderful farm.

Here we go again!
We board a flight from Amsterdam and in 9 hours we are in the Caribbean. After a layover of just a couple of hours on Curacao, we fly on to Jamaica. We land in Kingston around 11 am local time. The air is hot, but not too humid.
We have a 3 hours layover, so we decide to get out of the airport and go have lunch in Port Royal, half an hour away on the coast. It's a bit of a ghost-town, once a very rich merchant harbor, destroyed at the end of the seventeenth century by a powerful earthquake. It looks like it never really recoveredâ€¦
We eat lunch in a small fish-restaurant, famous for its snapper. But I eat jerk chicken because I am picky with my fish, and the jerk-spices here are amazing!
Of course we drink some Red Stripe beers, and Simon and myself decide it's time to find some weed. It does not take long before we hit the jackpot: literally on the side of the local Police station, along the seaside, there are some barracks and shacks; inside a group of Rastas is busy cleaning and chopping weed and rolling it up in small balls, using rolling papers as containers.
We ask if we can buy some, and the guys are thrilled. It's cheap, less than 1 Euro per gram. But it's a bit bitter, very leafy, and we enjoy it just because it's been a while since we smoked in Amsterdam! Some of the Rastas in the back are smoking crack cocaine in a glass pipe, the smell is terribly sour. They ask if we like some, and we politely tell them we are just here for the ganja; they nod, and scream "Jah Rastafari"!
We sit and smoke a joint with them, and chat a bit about the local weed, and the cops. It's incredible that this is all happening next to the Police station.
We leave as soon as the joint is over, and we go back to the restaurant to join the rest of the crew.
It's time to get back to the airport and catch a JamaicanAirlines flight to Montego Bay, where our local contacts are waiting. The flight is really short, under half hour, and we arrive in MoBay before sunset. Bigga, Shanti, Nampo and Taleban are waiting for us and it's great to see them again; Arjan and myself spent some crazy days with these guys not long ago, during our scouting trips on the island.
These guys are a tight crew, and they are going to take care of us during the next days of this filming trip.
Nampo is a older Rasta, wise man, with lots of contacts and very respected.
Taleban, his friend, is a grower and a smuggler, a real pirate and one of the funniest guys we ever had with us during our expeditions.
Bigga is our driver/bodyguard, he's a man of the road and he knows who and what you need to know to keep us safe.
Shanti is a local singer, a reggae artist with an amazing talent and a great personality. I know him since he was 10 years old, back in 1994, when I spent a few weeks near where he lived with his father (the man supplying me with fine herb at the time). It was really special to find Shanti during our scouting trips back in July, he's now a grown up manâ€¦ and I am getting old! Shanti will come along and make sure the soundtrack of our travels is inspiring and inspired.
We get the cars, two Toyota Fortuner, and we load up the mountain of gear we are carrying. Then we drive down to Negril in the sunset light, and when we arrive it's already dark. We decide to spend the first night at the Blue CaveCastle, a really cozy place on the rocky cliffs of Negril.
It's another true 1994-flashback for me, this is one of the places where I stayed when I was a 20-years-old ganja-traveler, already a StrainHunter without knowing itâ€¦. Of course to make the flashback even more intense the same room where I slept then is available, so I take it.
It still looks the same.
We are tired from the long travel, and we decide to go for some food. Unfortunately the chef is sick, so we decide to find something not too far away. We hit a jerk-chicken stand by the side of the road and we eat like there's no tomorrow.
After a few Red Stripes and a few joints we go back to the hotel, where we smoke some good amount of high-grade weed, and some "gum", the local finger-hash.
The weed is definitely an indica-cross, it tastes sweet and strong, and they say it's from a site not too far from where we are. We make a plan for tomorrow, and we go to sleep. Jamaica is great. It's a true privilege to be here again.
Jah Bless!

Here we go again!
We board a flight from Amsterdam and in 9 hours we are in the Caribbean. After a layover of just a couple of hours on Curacao, we fly on to Jamaica. We land in Kingston around 11 am local time. The air is hot, but not too humid.
We have a 3 hours layover, so we decide to get out of the airport and go have lunch in Port Royal, half an hour away on the coast. It's a bit of a ghost-town, once a very rich merchant harbor, destroyed at the end of the seventeenth century by a powerful earthquake. It looks like it never really recoveredâ€¦
We eat lunch in a small fish-restaurant, famous for its snapper. But I eat jerk chicken because I am picky with my fish, and the jerk-spices here are amazing!
Of course we drink some Red Stripe beers, and Simon and myself decide it's time to find some weed. It does not take long before we hit the jackpot: literally on the side of the local Police station, along the seaside, there are some barracks and shacks; inside a group of Rastas is busy cleaning and chopping weed and rolling it up in small balls, using rolling papers as containers.
We ask if we can buy some, and the guys are thrilled. It's cheap, less than 1 Euro per gram. But it's a bit bitter, very leafy, and we enjoy it just because it's been a while since we smoked in Amsterdam! Some of the Rastas in the back are smoking crack cocaine in a glass pipe, the smell is terribly sour. They ask if we like some, and we politely tell them we are just here for the ganja; they nod, and scream "Jah Rastafari"!
We sit and smoke a joint with them, and chat a bit about the local weed, and the cops. It's incredible that this is all happening next to the Police station.
We leave as soon as the joint is over, and we go back to the restaurant to join the rest of the crew.
It's time to get back to the airport and catch a JamaicanAirlines flight to Montego Bay, where our local contacts are waiting. The flight is really short, under half hour, and we arrive in MoBay before sunset. Bigga, Shanti, Nampo and Taleban are waiting for us and it's great to see them again; Arjan and myself spent some crazy days with these guys not long ago, during our scouting trips on the island.
These guys are a tight crew, and they are going to take care of us during the next days of this filming trip.
Nampo is a older Rasta, wise man, with lots of contacts and very respected.
Taleban, his friend, is a grower and a smuggler, a real pirate and one of the funniest guys we ever had with us during our expeditions.
Bigga is our driver/bodyguard, he's a man of the road and he knows who and what you need to know to keep us safe.
Shanti is a local singer, a reggae artist with an amazing talent and a great personality. I know him since he was 10 years old, back in 1994, when I spent a few weeks near where he lived with his father (the man supplying me with fine herb at the time). It was really special to find Shanti during our scouting trips back in July, he's now a grown up manâ€¦ and I am getting old! Shanti will come along and make sure the soundtrack of our travels is inspiring and inspired.
We get the cars, two Toyota Fortuner, and we load up the mountain of gear we are carrying. Then we drive down to Negril in the sunset light, and when we arrive it's already dark. We decide to spend the first night at the Blue CaveCastle, a really cozy place on the rocky cliffs of Negril.
It's another true 1994-flashback for me, this is one of the places where I stayed when I was a 20-years-old ganja-traveler, already a StrainHunter without knowing itâ€¦. Of course to make the flashback even more intense the same room where I slept then is available, so I take it.
It still looks the same.
We are tired from the long travel, and we decide to go for some food. Unfortunately the chef is sick, so we decide to find something not too far away. We hit a jerk-chicken stand by the side of the road and we eat like there's no tomorrow.
After a few Red Stripes and a few joints we go back to the hotel, where we smoke some good amount of high-grade weed, and some "gum", the local finger-hash.
The weed is definitely an indica-cross, it tastes sweet and strong, and they say it's from a site not too far from where we are. We make a plan for tomorrow, and we go to sleep. Jamaica is great. It's a true privilege to be here again.
Jah Bless!

Carmen Wakeling, an organic farmer and owner of EatmoreSprouts farm, located in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, has been at the business of growing organic alfalfa sprouts for almost twenty years. She does not only shun chemicals, she even plans her farm such that she hopes not to need to even till the land from season to season.
This is the second part of an interview done at location in her farm late in April 2013. Since the recording was done in her farm and outdoors, the sound has the natural tenor with background noise of birds chirping, wind whistling around, and an occasional noise of metal doors opening or a distant tractor.
My thanks go to Anuradha Mitra for filming the interview and to Carmen Wakeling for taking time out on a Sunday, to see me at her wonderful farm.

http://www.antlerfarms.com AntlerFarms® OrganicGreens is a powerful blend of the world's most nutrient dense superfoods: barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina.
Most green superfood mixes sold today are overloaded with ingredients. Although having a long list of ingredients in a superfood blend may sound impressive, it actually reduces the effectiveness of the product - because it only contains tiny amounts of each ingredient.
When taken in trace amounts, even nutrient-dense superfoods will provide little to no impact on your body. Therefore, most green blends on the market are ineffective because they provide insufficient quantities of each ingredient on a per serving basis to promote health and well-being.
That's why Antler Farms® Organic Greens was created with only the world's top four green superfoods - and nothing more. This uncommon, disciplined approach provides 100% pure organic superfoods in ample quantities - quantities required for optimal benefits and effectiveness.
Antler Farms® Organic Greens contains a perfectly proportioned blend of barley grass, wheat grass, chlorella and spirulina. Together this mixture of vibrant green grasses and microalgae is a nutritional powerhouse that delivers an abundance of alkalizing greens, chlorophyll and other phytonutrients, essential and non-essential amino acids, protein, antioxidants, fiber and minerals.
Barley grass and wheat grass are the young leaves of the barley and wheat plant. Our grasses are grown outdoors in the fertile soils of New Zealand'sCanterbury Plains, where they flourish with natural sunlight and fresh water. When harvested at their nutritional peak, these grasses contain a wide range of nutrients - including high concentrations of chlorophyll, enzymes, vitamins and minerals. Barley grass and wheat grass are widely considered to be two of the most nutritionally balanced foods in nature.
Chlorella and spirulina are microscopic green and blue-green algae that grow in warm, tropical climates. Our algae are cultivated in crystal clear mineral water, free from environmental pollution. Both chlorella and spirulina have exceptional nutritional properties. Chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any known plant, and also has a unique phytonutrient complex known as Chlorella Growth Factor. Spirulina, on the other hand, is comprised of over 100 nutrients and contains the highest protein concentration of any plant or animal on per gram basis.
Antler Farms® Organic Greens combines all four of these renowned superfoods into one simple, powerful blend.
Organic Greens is certified organic. No GMOs, herbicides, pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used in our entire farming system. In addition, our products are regularly tested for heavy metals, toxins, bacteria, pollutants and other contaminants to ensure purity and safety. Organic Greens is vegan, gluten free, soy free and dairy free.

What greens and herbs Japanese islanders eat?

We traveled Yaeyama islands of Japan. In this video you can see the central fruit and vegetable market on big (Ishigaki) island (market locates just next to Ishigaki CityOffice). Not a huge selection of fruits at the time, but lot's of greens and herbs. Anyways, definitely recommended to visit for raw fruit and vegetable loving people. Didn't had a lot of organic labeling, but we believe that certain part of greens are organic. Farmers keep bringing their produce why we are shopping and mostly they are and look like a small scale local farmers and families.

How would you like farm-fresh salad greens any time of year? Shaw TV's Karen Elgersma visi...

They're Small but Mighty: Microgreens

"Microgreens." It sounds like a made-up word, a term that 21st century technogeeks might have invented because they consider "seedlings" to be hopelessly outdated. But it no longer matters who coined the word because everyone in the food industry ̶ including the U.S.Department of Agriculture ̶ now talks about microgreens. I should say everyone "raves" about microgreens.
Advocates will tell you these little seedlings ̶ harvested at a mere seven to 14 days after germination ̶ pack more nutrients than they would if allowed to complete their growth. A recent USDA study found that leaves from almost all microgreens had four to six times more nutrients than the mature leaves of the same plant.
Conventional kitchen wisdom suggests that tiny greens like this should be used as garnishes to salads, sandwiches and soups ̶ mainly for appearance. As I discovered last week, it's not about looks, it's about taste. Moreover, salads, sandwiches and soups are just the beginning. To investigate this phenomenon, I traveled three hours east from Short Hills, across Manhattan and out onto the far reaches of Long Island last week to visit Koppert Cress, a relatively new microgreen "farm" in Cutchogue, N.Y.
"Farm" is a bit of misnomer since Koppert Cress is, in fact, an enormous greenhouse operation where plants are grown in some sort of inert natural material in thousands of plastic trays placed on huge stainless-steel "benches" that can be moved throughout the facility on pristine steel rails. There's not a smidgen of dirt in sight. In fact, the Koppert Cress greenhouses abhor dirt and foreign materials of any kind. It's the way the "farmers" ̶ well, let's just call them managers ̶ keep their "crops" free of disease and bacteria.
Accompanying me on this trip were my colleague, Patrick Cleary, a senior sous chef at Hilton Short Hills, and Kenneth Cospito, executive vice president of sales for AgriExotic Trading, a Clifton, N.J., firm that supplies fruit, vegetables and herbs to Hilton Short Hills and many other hotels and restaurants in New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. (I'm glad we traveled last Thursday, because a couple of days later we could have been trapped in a blizzard.)
Our host was Nicolas Mazard, Koppert Cress director of sales & marketing and a native of France, who gave us a rare tour of his facility, which usually is off-limits to outsiders to protect the plants from disease and his company's proprietary equipment from prying eyes. He invited us to take photos and video footage of everything except those secret machines, which he said were made exclusively for his company and provided a competitive advantage. Best of all, he encouraged us to taste his plants.
Nicolas told us Koppert Cress grows its seedlings in an all-natural substance that he wouldn't name. Suffice it to say the material looks something like off-white cotton. It is placed with seeds in plastic plant trays, very similar to the kind you might find at your neighborhood nursery. When the seedlings are ready for harvest, the staff simply boxes up the trays and ships them to customers ̶ mostly chefs, like me, who work at high-end restaurants. Little to no fertilizer is used, and the plants are so clean they don't need to be washed before consumed, according to Nicolas.
The Koppert Cress literature lists 68 different seedling types from amaranth to arugula, broccoli to beets and carrots to cilantro. The company even grows edible pansies.
We all were fascinated by the fact that Nicolas and his partners invested what obviously must have been several million dollars to build an ultramodern facility to grow this relatively off-the-beaten-path food. We asked ourselves, "Why?" The answer became apparent as soon as Nicolas began offering samples. These tiny little nothings not only are packed with nutritious stuff, they taste incredible. I have to choose my words carefully to avoid understating the case: They simply explode with flavor in your mouth.
Each microgreen offered a distinct taste, some familiar to vegetables ̶ except much more intense ̶ and some strangely like fruits and even cheese. Clearly, we had encountered plants from another planet, or perhaps plants from some mad scientist's laboratory that had been bred to yield unearthly flavor. As it turns out, the opposite is true.
Koppert Cress is growing native species of plants as they existed before botanists hybridized them to make them disease-resistant and able to travel hundreds of miles in trucks or railroad cards. The flavors that stunned us are heirloom varieties, just like the heirloom tomatoes that many of us have rediscovered in recent years.
Now that I know more about microgreens, they definitely will play a role in the new menus my staff and I are developing for The Dining Room, Hilton Short Hills' full-service restaurant which currently is being rebuilt from the wall studs out and is scheduled to open next week.

Here we go again!
We board a flight from Amsterdam and in 9 hours we are in the Caribbean. After a layover of just a couple of hours on Curacao, we fly on to Jamaica. We land in Kingston around 11 am local time. The air is hot, but not too humid.
We have a 3 hours layover, so we decide to get out of the airport and go have lunch in Port Royal, half an hour away on the coast. It's a bit of a ghost-town, once a very rich merchant harbor, destroyed at the end of the seventeenth century by a powerful earthquake. It looks like it never really recoveredâ€¦
We eat lunch in a small fish-restaurant, famous for its snapper. But I eat jerk chicken because I am picky with my fish, and the jerk-spices here are amazing!
Of course we drink some Red Stripe beers, and Simon and myself decide it's time to find some weed. It does not take long before we hit the jackpot: literally on the side of the local Police station, along the seaside, there are some barracks and shacks; inside a group of Rastas is busy cleaning and chopping weed and rolling it up in small balls, using rolling papers as containers.
We ask if we can buy some, and the guys are thrilled. It's cheap, less than 1 Euro per gram. But it's a bit bitter, very leafy, and we enjoy it just because it's been a while since we smoked in Amsterdam! Some of the Rastas in the back are smoking crack cocaine in a glass pipe, the smell is terribly sour. They ask if we like some, and we politely tell them we are just here for the ganja; they nod, and scream "Jah Rastafari"!
We sit and smoke a joint with them, and chat a bit about the local weed, and the cops. It's incredible that this is all happening next to the Police station.
We leave as soon as the joint is over, and we go back to the restaurant to join the rest of the crew.
It's time to get back to the airport and catch a JamaicanAirlines flight to Montego Bay, where our local contacts are waiting. The flight is really short, under half hour, and we arrive in MoBay before sunset. Bigga, Shanti, Nampo and Taleban are waiting for us and it's great to see them again; Arjan and myself spent some crazy days with these guys not long ago, during our scouting trips on the island.
These guys are a tight crew, and they are going to take care of us during the next days of this filming trip.
Nampo is a older Rasta, wise man, with lots of contacts and very respected.
Taleban, his friend, is a grower and a smuggler, a real pirate and one of the funniest guys we ever had with us during our expeditions.
Bigga is our driver/bodyguard, he's a man of the road and he knows who and what you need to know to keep us safe.
Shanti is a local singer, a reggae artist with an amazing talent and a great personality. I know him since he was 10 years old, back in 1994, when I spent a few weeks near where he lived with his father (the man supplying me with fine herb at the time). It was really special to find Shanti during our scouting trips back in July, he's now a grown up manâ€¦ and I am getting old! Shanti will come along and make sure the soundtrack of our travels is inspiring and inspired.
We get the cars, two Toyota Fortuner, and we load up the mountain of gear we are carrying. Then we drive down to Negril in the sunset light, and when we arrive it's already dark. We decide to spend the first night at the Blue CaveCastle, a really cozy place on the rocky cliffs of Negril.
It's another true 1994-flashback for me, this is one of the places where I stayed when I was a 20-years-old ganja-traveler, already a StrainHunter without knowing itâ€¦. Of course to make the flashback even more intense the same room where I slept then is available, so I take it.
It still looks the same.
We are tired from the long travel, and we decide to go for some food. Unfortunately the chef is sick, so we decide to find something not too far away. We hit a jerk-chicken stand by the side of the road and we eat like there's no tomorrow.
After a few Red Stripes and a few joints we go back to the hotel, where we smoke some good amount of high-grade weed, and some "gum", the local finger-hash.
The weed is definitely an indica-cross, it tastes sweet and strong, and they say it's from a site not too far from where we are. We make a plan for tomorrow, and we go to sleep. Jamaica is great. It's a true privilege to be here again.
Jah Bless!
And now we are back with MisterX pics, the man is a true artist..... enjoy!
